What does it mean?
"¡Ándale!" is one of the Swiss Army knives of Mexican expression. It can mean "let's go", "come on", "you're right", "hurry up", or "that's exactly it" depending on tone. The "Ándale, pues" combination (sometimes shortened to "andalé") is especially Mexican and signals warm agreement.
How to use it
Universally Mexican. Casual but not slang — works in most contexts except very formal business. The Speedy Gonzales cliché has unfortunately tagged this word for some Americans, but Mexicans use it constantly and it's entirely natural.
Example sentences
Come on, let's go!
¡Ándale, vámonos!
You're right. — Right!
Tienes razón. — ¡Ándale!
Hurry up, we're late.
